Bragging on My Brother
My brother participated in the 6th North Face Ultra-Trail Tour du Mont Blanc -- an ultra-marathon -- at the end of August.
It takes place once a year in the Alps, across France, Italy and Switzerland. The distance this year was 170 km (105.6 miles), with a total elevation gain of around 37,000 feet. The race is run in one leg.
Some believe that it is the most difficult foot race in Europe.

My brother came in # 106 out of 2,873 participants who finished.
(# 64 in his category). It took him 31 hours and 19 minutes.
